Hello there,
 
There is some weird problem when we play DOOM on the net here. When we first
start it, after having installed the appropriate drivers, it runs perfectly
fine. When we quit though (what sometimes happens, as we have other stuff to do
as well sometimes) and want to restart the game, it won't work! It just
crashes right before the opening-title should show up. So we have to reboot
our computers and re-install the drivers... it's quite tiring and seems to 
be a bug to me. 
 
Anyway, here are the commands with which we install the drivers:
 
	lh a:\drivers\lsl 
	lh a:\drivers\smcplus 
	lh a:\drivers\ipxodi 
	lh a:\drivers\odipkt 1 97
 
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
 
Oh, and another thing: I prefer to use the mouse to play the game, because
of the direct influence on the speed of the movements. But even if I crank
the mouse-sensitivity way up, I still don't think it's enough. Having to use
more than the width of the desk to turn 360 degrees fast is a bit too much, 
I think. Is there a way I could crank the sensitivity up still?
 
Any input is welcome :-)
